What about using the TaskKit. This kind of batch processing was one of
the motivations writing this kit. Take a loot at (the quite old docs) at

http://webware.sourceforge.net/Webware-0.7/TaskKit/Docs/QuickStart.html

Start a task which writes your static content once a day/week/.. or just
once if you want. The task itself can check if rewriting of the static
pages is really necessary or even change the priodicity of repeated
task. 

just my 2 cents
